Honey Hot Toddy

January 16, 2013

When it is cold outside and I am feeling a little under-the-weather, Ron will make me a special night-time drink.  We have nicknamed it ‘Corinna’s Honey Hot Toddy.’  This recipe includes two shots of Barenjager honey liqueur, so it is not an everyday drink, but it will really help you sleep when you are not feeling so good.

Honey Hot Toddy

Corinna’s Honey Hot Toddy

2 shots Barenjager honey liqueur
Hot water
Cinnamon stick
Lemon slice

Place 2 shots of Barenjager in a coffee mug.  Fill to top with hot water.  Add cinnamon stick and finish with a lemon slice.  Drink.

Ron will generally bring this drink to me in bed.  I drink it down and then immediately fall asleep.  It’s like the adult-version of a cough drop!

    Sounds yummy and helpful. I only have about two drinks a decade but maybe I could try this for medicinal purposes.

      I don’t drink liquor very often, but this is one that I choose if I am going to partake.

    This sounds great! We just got a whole bunch of lemons from one of our family member’s tree. So I will be using this recipe for sure! :)

    I love that liqueur but never thought of using it in a hot toddy. I have a recipe to share. While in Dublin a bartender shared this recipe with me. In a cup stir one teaspoon of brown sugar and one shot of whiskey. Push 4 cloves in a lemon wedge and place in the cup. Add boiling water and enjoy.
